Hey anyone visiting this vid, I've gotten a lot better at music making since this, and I encourage you to check out this channel for multiple tunes weekly. You can also find me as VolcanoOfBears on Bluesky, where I talk about my next game, Legend of the Origin Story of the Epic Rise of the Sofa King. Also, don't forget all the new variants of beepbox, from Modbox to Jummbox and others. Thanks!
I like making songs for my friend’s games. Usually they’re jokes, and don’t have high standards. But this really helped, now I’ll be able to make actually good songs! Thanks for the help!
I too am a huge fan of retro video game music and chiptune in general. I've used beepbox for 4 years now and I feel it's safe to say that I utilize it in a way that shows something very important about the tool. Yes, it is easy for a person lacking in musical skill to pick up on something like beepbox, but it's the way they use it that effects the result. For example, I use different software to make percussion for my songs and I use modded beepbox to make the melodies. Beepbox isn't a tool that's just for inexperienced musicians (:
Man I used beepbox for a long time (and i still do with modded versions like Jummbox and Goldbox) and I picked up so many cool new techniques along the way to make better songs overall. I am kinda worried I wouldn't be able to use any other software tho, since beepbox is really REALLY user-friendly.
Lately I've been looking at some other tracking tools, and I while I still feel that Beepbox and its progeny are the most user friendly, I've been pleased to see that many such tools are pretty close. That said, I still prefer the box family as it is really so easy to jump in and out of. Thanks for the comment!
Awesome tool to make chiptune music... I've posted some musics using other softwares like Koji and SuperAudio but this BeepBox is so much easy and friendly to use... awesome!
Did he just say *A*ll *G*ood *B*oys *D*eserve *F*udge?? Anyway, GREAT VIDEO!!! 🙏🏼Thank you so much for this thorough tutorial!! Looking forward to using this tool!!
This is probably one of the best videos I've seen regarding music production. Pure inspiration! ❤ Also, what a fantastic track! ... I'mma go check your other music real quick!
Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm always working on improving, and I definitely have learned a lot since making this video, hope to do a follow-up some day!
Omg this was very helpful! I’m very interested into the retro video game music and hope to create a theme using this soon. I love ur work btw and congrats on ur newest subscriber ;)
I've been using Jummbox, Modbox and a few other a lot more these days, but I still prefer a few tiny quirks of the original a bit better for most things. Jumm and mod are pretty coo though.
Hello, I was watching your guide. My goal is to start learning to make Chiptune or 8-bit music. And I realized there is no reverb bar, which I saw you use for around 10 minutes. And I wanted to ask if you could let me know what has or hasn't changed with using BeepBox to make this genre of music. (Basically where is the reverb and other buttons/features that were relocated)
Hi Astro! If you click "customize instrument" below your instrument choice (right side), more options should emerge. You will either get Reverb, and if not, you can click on "Effects" and select Reverb from the drop-down list. You can also find more options on follow-up tools like Modbox, Jummbox, etc.
Jummbox and Modbox are two alternatives with more options that I occasionally use. They have a lot more power, but sometimes too much for little ol' me.
Man, I wish I knew! The only advice I can give as I learn is to make it simple! Listen to great melodies from Mozart to Juice Wrld, or from Rob Hubbard to Manami Matsumae - despite background complexity, the melodies are always simple. That's the part I find challenging, not going all in on every note.

God... sometimes I wonder how people make music so easily
He is literally place random notes and seeing if they sound good.
@@BookGuy1 thats how everybody makes music. just in their heads.
The best song I made literally sounds like 💩
It’s magic…
wait til you see what people make on ultrabox

Nice to hear, but if my advice was THAT good MY music would be good! 😆
Seriously, thanks for the kind comment.

Awesome software!
As someone who is currently working on a game, this definitely helps!
Glad!
Is the game done
Where game
this is super helpful as an aspiring game dev
this has helped me understand the program a lot better than I did before
Thank you! I'm still learning all these things myself!

I've really enjoyed using it, and improved a lot since this video, because it's quite easy to doodle out a tune every day.
Did he just say
*A*ll
*G*ood
*B*oys
*D*eserve
*F*udge??
Anyway, GREAT VIDEO!!! 🙏🏼Thank you so much for this thorough tutorial!! Looking forward to using this tool!!
😀
Yeah, 'bout that, he did. It's
*E*very
*G*ood
*B*oy
*D*eserves
*F*udge
Or at least that's how I learnt it.
I don't *C* all 7 notes. Can anyone else *E*k (eke) them out?
This is probably one of the best videos I've seen regarding music production. Pure inspiration! ❤

Nice video. Learned something new in beepbox from this video.
Thank you! Glad to be of assistance!
there's also an expanded version with more features called 'pandora's box' :D
Thank you I was having such a hard time finding instruments that worked for one of these.
I've learned a lot since this video myself, feel free to IM me on Twitter if you have other questions! Glad to be helpful!
you can also use Magical8Bit vst plugin for this retro sound
Thank you! Excellent tutorial, very clear and informative!
Thank you for the comment, definitely a real person!
beepbox is awesome
bless you for this tutorial
I keep thinking I should do an update because I've learned a lot... but then, I'm so lazy... 😁
if youd want to, id definantly tune in! there are some specific chip sounds im trying to make, but enough trial and error will teach me it anyways!
Omg this was very helpful! I’m very interested into the retro video game music and hope to create a theme using this soon. I love ur work btw and congrats on ur newest subscriber ;)
Good video. Just so you know, a chord has to have at least 3 notes in it. 2 notes is called a harmonic.
Thanks, I literally did not know that, even though both my kids are taking piano lessons!
But, nobody calls it a power-harmonic
Amazing! Funny thing, I like making game music, but I end up NEVER making a game. I have problems, lol.
Yep, I make so much more music than I ever can use! I like to listen when I'm working because I don't associate my music with anything in particular.
@@mirasbrush4607 Yeah. You're so talented as well!
Cool 🎉❤
Also there is a remake of beepbox called JummBox
I've been using Jummbox, Modbox and a few other a lot more these days, but I still prefer a few tiny quirks of the original a bit better for most things. Jumm and mod are pretty coo though.
@@mirasbrush4607 what's the other I've never heard of modbox
@@muhammadjuhlanModded Beepbox
There's also Ultrabox
eyyy i didnt even know that you had a youtube channel
I barely do! :D
@@mirasbrush4607 yea i guess uploading consistently is a struggle xd
you seem to have it under controll tho
As geometry dash player, sometimes I wanna make my own music hehe

If you want a good chiptune music maker, I'd highly recommend Famistudio!
what was that other tool he listed, something also called box?
Jummbox and Modbox are two alternatives with more options that I occasionally use. They have a lot more power, but sometimes too much for little ol' me.
@@mirasbrush4607 ah, thank you
but how to make melody good
Man, I wish I knew! The only advice I can give as I learn is to make it simple! Listen to great melodies from Mozart to Juice Wrld, or from Rob Hubbard to Manami Matsumae - despite background complexity, the melodies are always simple. That's the part I find challenging, not going all in on every note.
